Restaurant Insider with Anne Lee
Spicy Poke Bowl ($12)
Local Slushie in a Pineapple ($13)
ANNE LEE speaks with Duke’s Waikiki general manager KELI‘I GOUVEIA
Tucked away under the iconic Duke’s Waikiki, you will find The Sandbar Beach Snacks. An extension of restaurant’s dining offerings, the concept was created to offer the convenience of grab-and-go options (perfect for enjoy- ing on the beach) that are accessible to anyone. The Sandbar Beach Snacks even offers locally made POG slushies in fresh pineapples — and it’s really good. General manager Keli‘i Gouveia — who’s been with the company, TS Restaurants, going on 14 years — shared with me what other options are available and what else is happening at his restaurant.
